Come as pictured above with inner and outer bearings and cups, tab washer, hub seal and all the gaskets you will need.

This is all you need to rebuild one side. I have listed multiple quantities - if you want x 2 then nominate a qty of 2 in the box when you click "buy now".

Koyo is one of the leading brands in bearings.

Many of us dont realise the bearings have had it until they begin making a noise. By then it's desperately too late and well into being dangerous. When a bearing fails totally it can sieze, the wheel could fall off or it completely destroys the spindle, free wheeling hub and CV joint and in just about every case the vehicle can not be driven or towed unless on the back of a truck or trailer. And yet it can all be avoided.

At various service intervals jack the wheel off the ground and look for sideways play by grabbing top and bottom of tyre and wobbling. There should be no play at all. Also make sure the wheel spins freely and the only noise you should hear is perhaps some brake pads touching discs or drums.

The following can damage a wheel bearing..

Bearing nuts being too tight or too loose

Water

Grit, sand and dirt (usually from beach runs or muddy bog holes)

If your axle seal is shot or you have a worn groove in the axle the diff oil will get into the swivel housing where the V joint is and eventually wash the grease out of the CV and wheel bearings - makes for a messy and expensive repair for the sake of a $10 inner axle seal.

In this ebay store I also sell hub sockets (refer below). They are about the only tool you might not have in the shed.

Here's a guide to replacing wheel bearings..

Jack the wheel off the ground and remove wheel. (Note for adjustment you can leave wheel and brakes on).

Remove brake pads

Remove brake caliper - note leave brake line in place and this will mean you dont need to bleed brakes later.

Using hammer and cold chisel gently open locking tabs that hold bearing nut in place.

Using hub socket remove outer bearing nut.

Remove Tab Washer

Using hub socket remove inner bearing nut.

Remove washer with locating tab

Wobble wheel hub and outer bearing will come loose and remove

Remove wheel hub.

Using brass drift or cold chisel knock old hub seal out by approaching from far side.

Inner bearing will come out.

Using brass drift or cold chisel from opposite side tap the old bearing cups out.

Clean wheel hub.

Gently tap both new bearing cups into place - easy to work out which one as they are different sizes and you cant mix them up.

Load inside of wheel hub with plenty of fresh grease.

Pack inner bearing with grease ensuring the grease gets in around all the rollers. Best method is having a gob of grease in the palm of one hand and with the other hand stroke the bearing against your greasy palm so that the grease gets inside. work it a while and you will know when it's done right. If you have to ask then you probably haven't done it enough.

Fit inner bearing into the bearing cup in the wheel hub.

Fit new hub seal with plane side out being careful not to damage it. A tip is to hold the old bearing cup against the new seal and tap the old cup gently with a hammer.

Fit wheel hub onto car over the spindle, making sure it goes all the way on.

Grease up outer bearing same as inner and fit bearing into hub.

Fit thick washer with locating tab.

Fit inner wheel bearing nut and tighten with hub socket. Spin wheel hubs a few times to bed bearings in as grease and air bubbles will restrict it bedding in all the way. It's often a good idea to tighten more than desired and spin for a bit. Then back off. Technically we should use a torque wrench and tighten to a certain point but I'm yet to find a mechanic that does this. They will tighten up then back off a bit so it spins freely but not so much that it gets loose.

At this point (we haven't yet fitted the locking tab or second bearing nut) refit the brake calipers and brake pads and refit the wheel.

Now with the wheel on spin the wheel and make sure it is not slowed down by the bearing being too tight and that there is no top to bottom play by rocking the wheel sideways. If there is any play at all then nip that bearing up a little more.

When happy with bearing nut tightness fit the tab washer and knock one tab over the inner nut to prevent it from turning.

Fit the outer bearing nut ensuring it is tight with the hub socket.

Pull another tab on the tab washer towards you and lock it over the outer bearing nut.

Pack some more grease in there for good measure and refit the free wheeling hub body.

Fit the snap ring onto the end of the CV axle shaft.

Fit the free wheeling hub face back on.

And you are done - easy huh! All up that should take about 1 hour per side.
